Making The Materials, Book Making Class #2, Take 2

Books and the outside world. Boilerplate that I came across on a manuscript website, “International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.” Facsimile Finder: Pelplin Gutenberg Bible, on sidebar under Please Read.

Preclass snack. Since I usually get whipped cream in my hot chocolate, this maybe my first decorated drink. Easing slowly into the 21st Century.

Onwards!

  1. Thank you for the awareness. Our prejudices run so deep that we don’t even know we have them. Jane

  2. Don’t know about the rest of the 21st century, but a coffee that looks like that is welcome in my neck of the woods. MM
